Suitcase Fusion 3 User Guide for Mac OS - Extensis

Price Tier
Fonts are grouped by their prices, so you can keep costs down for specific websites by setting the appropriate
Price Tier for each Type Drawer.
Font, font face, font family
In desktop typography, a font or font family is a collection of faces designed and intended to be used together.
The Garamond font family includes roman and italic styles and bold, semi-bold, and regular weights. A face of
this font family is a single style and weight combination, such as Garamond Bold-Italic.
For simplicity’s sake we use the term “font” to mean a set of faces from a given family that are collected
together. When viewed in the context of the WebINK Library, this will generally coincide with the entire family.
When used in the context of fonts in a Type Drawer, it will usually be a subset of a family: perhaps just the roman
and italic styles, for example.
Creating a WebINK Account
To create a WebINK account:
1. Start Suitcase Fusion. When you first start Suitcase Fusion, you are prompted to connect to the WebINK
service. (If you are not prompted to connect, then choose File > Connect to WebINK.)
2. Click Create Account. Your web browser will open and take you to the WebINK sign-in page.
3. Click the Create Account link on the WebINK page.
4. Follow the steps to create an account and accept the Terms of Service.
You can use the WebINK service for free for 30 days. You do not need to provide billing information during this
time, but after the trial period your websites will no longer have access to WebINK fonts.
During the trial period, you can use an unlimited number of fonts on your test websites at no charge.
For details on WebINK terms and conditions, visit http://www.webink.com/terms.
Establishing a WebINK Connection
The first time you run Suitcase Fusion 3, you will be prompted to enter your WebINK username and password or
create an account.
If you choose to connect to the service, Suitcase Fusion will automatically reconnect every time you launch the
program, unless you have manually disconnected.
If you choose to not connect when you start Suitcase Fusion, or you disconnect from the service, you can
connect by choosing File > Connect to WebINK.
When connected, Suitcase Fusion displays the WebINK Library and any Type Drawers you have created, and
the title bar of the main window shows your account name.
NOTE
While the WebINK features appear in the same panel as Suitcase Fusion’s desktop font management features,
you cannot add WebINK Library fonts to your desktop type libraries, nor can you add fonts from your desktop to
one of your Type Drawers.
If You Have a Firewall
Most organizations and even many home networks have a firewall between their local area network and the
Internet. To allow Suitcase Fusion to communicate with the WebINK service, you will need to make sure that
port 8443 is open on your network’s firewall. See your network administrator or the documentation for your
network router for assistance.
